UNSPSC 43201802: Hard disk arrays

A bundle of hard disks that are packaged together as one logical device.

UNSPSC 43201802 Hard disk arrays is a Commodity code covering enterprise and specialized internal storage drives — primarily high-capacity NAS and SAS drives for data-intensive applications, digital forensics systems, and mission-critical server infrastructure. Recent state and local solicitations show state health and human services commissions procuring HPE SAS solid-state disk drives for Claims Engine servers, municipal police departments sourcing Western Digital NAS drives for digital forensics RAID arrays, and educational institutions acquiring storage components as part of broader classroom technology and network infrastructure upgrades. Issuing bodies span state-level health and human services agencies, city purchasing offices, county governments, and college district boards of trustees, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple fiscal cycles for enterprise-grade SSD procurement supporting mission-critical Claims Engine operations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted three related IFBs between February and May 2026 (HHS0017083, HHS0017083V2, and HHS0017083V3) for HPE NSK and Non-Stop Itanium drives supporting Claims Engines in Austin and Dallas, with historical annual spend guidance of $80,000 per solicitation and firm-fixed pricing on a best-value evaluation basis. The City of Austin Purchasing Office issued IFQ 8700JXS1037 on June 23, 2026, requesting eight Western Digital 26TB WD Red Pro NAS internal hard drives for the Austin Police Department's Special Victims Investigation Digital Forensics Unit, with quotations due June 30, 2026, and delivery required within 120 calendar days. The City of Pembroke Pines, Florida, solicited network infrastructure hardware including associated storage components through IFB TS2604 (May 19, 2026, response deadline), and Valencia College District in Florida issued RFP 2026-26 for classroom and conference room technology services (April 30, 2026, deadline) that encompasses storage and server components as part of a turnkey technology integration contract with historical annual spending around $1.6 million. Most opportunities are awarded on competitive bid or RFP basis with no stated small business set-asides, though HUB Subcontracting Plans are encouraged in HHSC procurements and Pembroke Pines applies local vendor preferences.
